I'm a retired engineering manager and have always been fascinated with ingenious mechanisms. I like the way the Pedersen action works and have been interested in R51s since they first came out. Recently Remington offered a $100 rebate. The rebate, combined with my points at Cabela's, brought the price down to $100. How could I not buy a cool gun for $100?!
I have a number of firearms. I often carry a Taurus TCP in a pocket holster, but I wanted a carry gun with a harder hitting caliber. Once broken-in I'm hoping that the R51 is reliable enough to be a carry gun. Incidentally, my favorite handguns in my collection are a Remington R1, CZ 75BD, and a first gen S&W 66.
